You work in a lab, are there any unique tests you could administer there that likely aren't being tested for this elsewhere? How does a mouse react to two weeks of soylent?

Unfortunately I don't think the animal care committee would let that fly. Everything is so serious these days.

Go rogue.

But seriously, do you have access to anything at the lab that would give you a unique perspective as to what it was doing to your physiology?

Not really. I'd have to visit the clinic for that. I could draw blood and look at stuff, but not the traditional blood markers. I'd have to order kits for all that.
